A new unicorn is born, and this one wears military camouflage. Helsing, a young company born in Berlin and established in France and the United Kingdom, announced this Thursday a fundraising of 209 million euros, as part of a Series B financing led by the American fund General Catalyst. Already an industrial partner, the Swedish group Saab is also participating in the round as a strategic investor.

This operation propels its valuation to around 1.5 billion euros, making it the first unicorn in the field of artificial intelligence dedicated to defense. Founded in 2021, the young company had already stood out with an initial fundraising of 100 million euros from the Prima Materia fund of Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek.

Offered with a 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screen, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus inherit a function available on the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max: Dynamic Island, allowing access to new ways to interact through important alerts and Live Activities.

This feature can now be used with Maps. It is also possible to easily control music or obtain, thanks to integrations with third-party apps, real-time information on meal delivery, a current journey, sports results or even travel information.

The iPhone 15 range also includes the new generation of portraits, which makes it easier to capture them with a higher level of detail and improved performance in low light. The HDR brightness on these 2 models now reaches 1,600 nits, which considerably improves the rendering of HDR photos and videos. And in direct sunlight, outdoor brightness reaches 2,000 nits, twice as much as the previous generation.

Apple is also introducing the Apple A16 Bionic chip on the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, which appeared on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.

A new USB-C connector

Called “MS11”, Xiaomi’s first electric car will support Apple CarPlay. There is currently an increased integration of technology and connectivity in the automotive sector.

After years of waiting and much speculation, the news is finally confirmed: Xiaomi, the Chinese tech giant known for its smartphones, is ready to challenge the electric car market with its “MS11”. A provisional name, certainly, but already capable of arousing great interest.

Xiaomi electric car supports Apple CarPlay

For some time now, Chinese streets have been the scene of sightings of an electric car bearing the Xiaomi logo, fueling rumors and curiosity. But what do we really know regarding this vehicle? Thanks to SIG, the certification body which checks the conformity of new products before they are placed on the market, we have clear and certain information.

The MS11 will be equipped with Bluetooth 5.2, radio and USB Media. The compatibility with Apple CarPlay, however, struck many industry observers and enthusiasts. Apple CarPlay represents a technology for connecting an iPhone to the car’s infotainment screen. It allows you to manage calls, messages, applications and other smartphone functions directly from the car screen.

These functions make it safer and more intuitive. With CarPlay, the driving experience becomes an integral part of the Apple ecosystem. Its interface is reminiscent of the iPhone’s iOS and it offers the possibility of using the Siri voice assistant without ever taking your hands off the wheel.

At the heart of the car, a Qualcomm chip

But a question arises: will Xiaomi’s car only be compatible with iPhones? Although the certification body hasn’t explicitly mentioned it, it’s hard to imagine that Xiaomi will limit the compatibility of its electric cars to Apple devices. Given the open and versatile nature of the company, it seems that other compatibilities will be revealed soon.

Another interesting information concerns the technological heart of the car. She mentions the presence of a Qualcomm chip. This detail might say a lot regarding the potential and functionality of the car. Without forgetting MONTH, the operating system on which Xiaomi is working hard. Set to debut on the Xiaomi MS11, MIOS might then be expanded across the company’s entire product line. This would create a even more integrated and homogeneous ecosystem.
